Wonder Circle Organizer FAQs

Below you'll find a few of the most frequently asked questions about organizing Wonder Circles.

How does a Wonder Cirle work?

It start with the rallying of a small group of 8 to 15 people.

The gathering begins with light mingling, then an introduction from the organizer, then a series of activities designed to give everyone an opportunity to see and be seen. Breakout sessions between pairs of people will lead back to a full group discussion.

Where does it take place?

A Wonder Circle can happen anywhere that a sense of privacy and comfort can be established. This can be in a living room in someone’s home, a yoga studio, a camp site, or a conference room. What’s important is that the venue be conducive to people opening up and getting real about where they’re at and where they’re going.

When does it take place?

Wonder Circles can take place over lunch, as part of an existing social gathering, or in the evening.

Who participates in a Wonder Circle?

Anyone and everyone who is willing to commit to playing well with others can join. Young or old, male or female, tall or short, everyone has work to do when it comes to worry and wonder.

There is at least one organizer, who is in charge of making the event happen. Everyone else is a participant, which means committing to showing up and holding a safe space for everyone else present.
